Coordinator notes: This could certainly be Apantesis phalerata, but it might also be A. nais or A. carlotta. It's impossible to tell from this photo - I'd need to see the hindwings, and photos of these beautiful little moths seldom show anything but the forewings. So, I'm identifying this one to genus only.
